Definitions
- the present technology relates to a solid-state imaging device, a manufacturing method of the solid-state imaging device, and an electronic device.
- the present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device having a global shutter function, a manufacturing method of the solid-state imaging device, and an electronic apparatus.
- a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor generally accumulates a photoelectrically converted charge in a photodiode from the time a signal is output. Since the signals of the CMOS image sensor are read by sequentially scanning the photodiode array, the accumulation period is shifted for each photodiode. For this reason, when a fast-moving subject is imaged with a CMOS image sensor, the image is distorted.
- CMOS Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
- CMOS image sensor there is a global shutter structure in which an analog memory is formed in a pixel as one method for realizing the simultaneous charge accumulation.
- the global shutter structure includes an analog memory for each photodiode. By simultaneously transferring charges from the photodiode to the analog memory in the entire image pickup device array, simultaneous charge accumulation can be realized.
- this analog memory needs to be covered with a light shielding layer so that new signal charges are not generated by photoelectric conversion.
- One method for realizing high sensitivity in a CMOS image sensor is a backside illumination type structure.
- the back-illuminated CIS light is incident from the back side of the semiconductor substrate that is not affected by the wiring on the pixel and the pixel transistor, so that the opening of the photodiode can be maximized. For this reason, the amount of light incident on the photodiode is increased, and the sensitivity is improved as compared with the surface-illuminated imaging device.
- a global shutter structure is formed in the backside illuminated CMOS image sensor to achieve high sensitivity.
- backside illumination CIS having a global shutter structure. This is because, when the global shutter structure is formed in the back-illuminated CIS, it is very difficult to sufficiently shield the analog memory from light incident from the back side, particularly light incident from an oblique direction. If the light shielding is performed effectively, the opening is inevitably narrowed and the sensitivity is lowered, so that the advantages of the back-illuminated CIS cannot be utilized.
- Patent Document 1 In order to realize a global shutter structure in the back-illuminated CIS, a structure in which a light shielding layer is formed in a semiconductor substrate has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

- the solid-state imaging device of the present technology includes a semiconductor substrate, a photodiode formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a floating diffusion region to which signal charges accumulated in the photodiode are transferred. Further, the semiconductor substrate includes a horizontal light shielding portion parallel to the semiconductor substrate surface covering the floating diffusion region and a light shielding layer including a vertical light shielding portion perpendicular to the semiconductor substrate surface. Moreover, the electronic device of this technique is provided with the said solid-state image sensor and the signal processing circuit which processes the output signal of a solid-state image sensor.
- the method for manufacturing a solid-state imaging device of the present technology includes a step of forming a photodiode on a semiconductor substrate and a step of forming a floating diffusion region to which signal charges accumulated in the photodiode are transferred on the semiconductor substrate. Then, a step of forming a cavity for forming a horizontal light-shielding portion parallel to the semiconductor substrate surface and a vertical light-shielding portion perpendicular to the semiconductor substrate surface in the semiconductor substrate, and filling the cavity with a light-shielding material Forming a layer.
- the light shielding layer is formed in the floating diffusion region where the signal charge is held.
- a cavity is formed in the semiconductor substrate, and the light shielding layer is formed by embedding the cavity. For this reason, a light shielding layer is formed in the semiconductor substrate.
- the light-shielding layer is not embedded by an epitaxial growth layer or the like, a charge transfer path output from the photodiode is formed in the semiconductor substrate. Therefore, no dark current is generated due to crystal defects such as an epitaxial growth layer.
- a white spot and dark current can be suppressed, and a solid-state imaging device having a global shutter function, a method for manufacturing the solid-state imaging device, and an electronic apparatus can be provided.
